In this edition of The wikiHow Herald, we'll highlight some major wiki milestones from 2018! (Continue reading…)

Introducing Expert Community Co-Authorship
Many wikiHow users — readers and editors alike — have noticed Expert Co-Authored stamps and by-lines on articles, confirming that the advice in the page is what an expert in the professional field recommends. A newly launched experiment is building upon this co-authorship system... (Continue reading…)

BUILD, the Final Nonprofit Partnership of 2018
Throughout the year, wikiHow partnered with a variety of nonprofit organizations that share similar missions and values as our community. As part of wikiHow's vision, we would like to imagine a world where anyone can easily learn how to do anything. BUILD shares similar values, and they were our final charitable partner of 2018.

Oh wow, I didn't realize she was new to the area too - that's lots of transition at once. But exciting! That sort of home-making period where you first settle in - so fun, making the home your own, as a duo. Good times :)

So far so good for 2019 over here! Little lady is walking a bit more (though lots of falling!) and saying a few words reliably now (loves to request "crackers" and "juice", of course!), and generally keeping us on our toes but in a wonderful way. We had my nieces (and sister and brother and their partners) here last week, too, and she had soooo much fun with them. They're 9 and 6 and just loved doting on her... it was super cute!

Ok I've only updated the date here... and holy moly 9 years. You old :)

A New Cite to See: Testing a Citation-Creator
There’s a reason that websites such as EasyBib are popular — it’s faster to cite sources for a last-minute essay with a computer than manually. Now, though, wikiHow is dipping its toes into the water in terms of helping writers in a post-procrastination panic. (Continue reading…)

Man yeah, sounds busy but I guess the good kind of busy... keeping you on your toes and life rolling along! :D

I'm doing well! Life at home is normal, just with more toddler walking now, hah. Big event coming up for me tomorrow, in my personal life... I don't want to jinx it, superstitions and all... so I'll tell you about it next time we chat. And if I don't, consider it jinxed. Watch this space ;)

^ PS Do you like how mysterious that sounds? With any luck I can tell you about it tomorrow. The impact on my day-to-day life is fairly minor... I'm just hoping it all works out 'cause it's something I've been working towards a while :)

Hey Jordan - hope all is well with you! Do you mind if I ask your thoughts regarding Avoid Politics As Usual? I totally understand that opinions will differ in NFD review, so I'm not questioning that - but I'm just trying to gather feedback for the Discussion page, so we can decide what steps need taking next to clean it up (and whether it needs other tags for work). To me, the content of the page doesn't really match the title, and I'd go so far as to say the title itself doesn't really make a lot of sense given that there is no "as usual" in politics. I'm thinking the page needs some follow-up, but I'm not really sure where to go with it from here, if not removal. I thought you might have had some thoughts during review that we could use to help it along or decide on next steps.

It was really great! Last time, we went to Maui, which is way more resort-y and remote-feeling... Honolulu is a big city so feels urban, almost gritty. But it worked well for us this time 'cause everything is very walkable around Waikiki Beach... we could break out the stroller to go to the beach, the zoo, the aquarium, all kinds of restaurants, and so forth. Suited us well with the toddler!

Ahh, glad things have been good at home - may the rain hold off! My in-laws went up to Universal Studios last week and a had lots of fun in the sun there, too. It's a statewide commodity :)

Hah yes, you def should! I think overall I preferred Maui to Oahu but both were def worth it. I hear Kauai is really nice, too, esp for hiking and beautiful views and so forth. One for your travel bucket list, definitely!

So Jordan, is it okay if I ask what your name means to you? Whenever I see your name in the me a member widget, I think of river Jordan, John the Baptist, John 11:35-45 about Lazarus and Yehoshuas bond. Do you follow the Tanakh or the Bible?
